We have been back from vacation for 6 days now and I have been a serious slacker – more about that later. We had a great time, though, enjoying Georgia and spending time with Dave’s side of the family.
First, I must say, I was quite nervous about Isaac traveling on a plane for nearly four hours (not to mention car, airport, waiting time, etc.) Isaac is not a kid who likes to sit still for more than 3 or 4 minutes at a time unless he’s sleeping – and I’m not exaggerating. We were able to get the bulkhead so we had extra space in front of us, which also meant no kicking of his wee little feet on an innocent passengers chair. Yes! Off to a good start. It was a Christmas miracle. Isaac was my traveling hero this trip. He didn’t make a fuss at all on the plane. He was content with napping, watching a portable DVD player, playing with tissue (of course,) and reading books with us. He also played peek-a-boo with the people behind us. He also had to travel in the car for five hours when we went to Tybee Island, and on the way home he had to travel 5 hours by car, airport, and 4 hours by plan, car. He did just as wonderfully. WA HOOOO!!!!!!!
Dave’s brother, Jiri, married his fabulous wife Jen back in January in Argentina. How lucky are they? They had their wedding reception (Vala Garden Party) in Atlanta a week ago, so that was our main motivation for going to Georgia. It was a beautiful reception for a beautiful couple. Congrats to them! Unfortunately, we didn’t have the camera at the reception, so no photos of that.
Isaac was so happy to see his Grandma and Grandpa Vala (Baba and Pop, self named by Isaac) again after four or five months of not seeing them. We spent about 5 days with them, Jiri, and Jen at a beach house on Tybee Island. It was wonderful catching up, laughing, and watching Isaac enjoy the beach for the first time. He enjoyed the water, and we all thought he was going to LOVE playing in the sand since he loves playing in the dirt and with rocks, etc. He was a huge fan of the ocean, and the waves, but the boy does NOT like sand to be stuck to his body, especially his feet.
We did get some photos of the rest of our vacation.
In Atlanta, we did a little bit of this:
But when we went to Tybee Island, Isaac did a lot of this:
Some of this:
And of course, plenty of this :)
And maybe a little too much of this (again with the tissue! he did this himself...)

Sounds like you had a ton of fun! I am proud of Isaac for doing so well on the plane, the kids on our planes were not so great, crying at the top of their lungs for the majority of the time... but what can you expect, they are babies! Glad you guys got to see family :)
Isaac is so cute, smart, and such a good boy! The pictures are great! I am glad you guys had such a fun vacation. And, I am glad you are back. You were missed.
